In an interview with calciomercato.it, Cristian Brocchi has revealed his thoughts on the present Lazio:

"Luckily, for those who coach Lazio, you are never put under scrutiny. President Lotito defends the coach and his choices. From that perspective, Petkovic can remain quiet."

"In the mercato, Lazio decided to rejuvenate the squad adding to the senior players, young players with quality. They added experience too, such as Biglia, who merits more confidence and consideration from the fans. He holds [the midfield of] Argentina, and Petkovic would do well to hand the keys of our midfield to him."

"Perea and Anderson have talent. The have given good feedback when called into question. They need trust and time, and must also feel important within the group, but without being handed too much responsibility. Undoubtedly, they are too young men who start from an important base."
